HIGHLIGHTS: Columbus Crew vs. Seattle Sounders FC

Jackson part of an attacking three with Rossi and Shambo captain darling to nag the anchors. The midfield changes to the side that fell to Portland last week two of them, they're forced to make both. Andrew Thomas is the goalkeeper, Nico Hagan, the number one for Guatemala. He's busy in this international window, an opportunity for both and under way tonight. Glad to have you with us on MLS season pass. They allowed numerous chances in that game 17 shots by New York City. As a matter of fact, who just kept missing, they missed on 12 of those attempts. Here come the sounders now, Morris sends it wide. Oh, it was there for a one nothing Seattle lead but no does well to get it away from N and here come the sounders the other way gathered by Rothrock. Rothrock has options. Gives it a go save made by Romeo first test of the night. And Abraham Romero passes with flying colors, he senses the pressure and gave that away. Christian rolled on will work it ahead. Jordan Morris trying to get on this but the keeper off his line big collision and the referee will award the free kick to the Sounders here onside hit but there is a big, big decision to be made here. The red card has just been shown to the goalkeeper Abraham Romero and he has been sent to a to see as the ball's played through just as it bounces there. Ooh, it's a really, really pain first Rusnak over the free kick for the Saunders. B. Rusnak fires go what a strike from Albert Rusnak and the Sounders take the lead in first half stoppage time to get the ball in a good position but Rusnak, he found the gap. He found the corner and Seattle have taken the lead and what an interesting game they're gonna have ahead because Seattle, you can guarantee they're gonna shoot on site. I'm not gonna critique an outfield player that's gone in there out to the middle of the park. Jordan Morris will run this away from Shambles. Morris four across the field into the attack for the Sounders. They work across Rothrock, Morris 20 game big finish, Jordan Morris and the all important insurance goal for Seattle to double the lead. It starts off Morris, he drops deep. Now all of a sudden you've got wide players, you see the two wingers, you've got mungo and you've got Rothrock keeping the width that leaves the space. Then for Morris to get into, he plays the 12 and puts the ball to the back of the net. It's the same duo that should have led to Seattle's opening goal in the first half where Morris put it wide. Not this time though. And this was all about the wingers keeping the width which created the space for Morris. He then plays it out wide and the rest is history. Really, really good saves Canada with its first victory in men's soccer against the United States on US soil since 1957. This is a tense for the Sounders to work this across shot from just outside the box. It's a three nothing game, Albert Rusnak second of the night and the sounders firmly in the driver's seat in the 67th minute. Yeah. Well, if you don't shoot, you don't score. But what I would say is mungo really direct, really positive. Rusnak then finds himself in space on the edge of the area, not the greatest of strikes, but Columbus don't have an actual goalkeeper in. And that's what I was saying earlier anywhere. 1820 yards out, you have to shoot because nine times out of 10, you're going to find the back of the net. This is what happened and now s find themselves three nil up in the regular season are all against Western conference teams. Christian rolled on that includes decision day against the timbers. What will be at stake that day? Quick shot fired though. What a finish wno completes the hat trick for Seattle. They put four on the board at lower.com Fields as our player to watch and it wasn't gonna be for goals, it was gonna be for assist. But what a beautiful finish. This is regardless of who's in goal. The way that he allows the ball to go across his body is outstanding. And Zoki, absolutely no chance any goalkeeper Saunders continue to pour it on. They work ahead, Georgie Manou four into the attack for Seattle again. Manou works it across, they get a touch to it near the blocks but the chance goes wide. That was Rothrock on the in swinger. Camacho gets ahead to it sent out further by Ramirez Christian rolled on his shot scooped up on a bounce and the fans appreciate the save by Zawa Alex rolled on ahead. Georgie menu out wide on the right. Wants to take on Serco goes for goal at the stop made by Zao play it across and he's got it again. We believe he just recorded his second FLS save. He was honored with the captain's armband. There was a reason for that. It was bestowed on him by Wilfred Nay Thomas and with a save tonight on the shot from long range by Diego Rossi. Leo Chu works it across. Taken here. Rusnak feels the pressure from behind. Chu gives it a go and he rang it off the crossbar looking for number five by the Sounders and Leo Chu, he thought he had it as as well. Bruce Brus once again in transition come the Seattle Sounders, they'll work it ahead. Morris able to get on this with Zarski out that's well played, came out, cut down the angle concedes the corner, I think for Columbus, they've wanted this game to be over for a while. But what a victory for Seattle, I think there's no arguments with the red card to Romero for the circumstances in which the game unfolded. Then such a tough one to take for Columbus.
